A gunfight between Los Angeles police officers and a suspect at a Ralphs supermarket in Granada Hills wounded an officer and resulted in the arrest of the alleged gunman, who was taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation despite not being hit by gunfire.
The shooting happened about 6:30 p.m. Sunday in a shopping center at Balboa Boulevard and Devonshire Street, according to the LAPD and media reports from the scene.
According to police, officers responded to the Ralphs after a man was reported to be causing a disturbance inside. Officers entered and confronted him, resulting in an officer-involved shooting. The suspect then fled the store and hid in a nearby store before surrendering to police about 45 minutes later.
The details of that arrest were not immediately made clear.
One officer was wounded and transported to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening wounds, Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said.
The suspect’s name was not immediately released.
